Every week for the past 17 weeks we at NPS (National park service) and other government agencies have to put in a 5 bullet point (at least 5) for “What did you do last week?” Email report. When they first started and we got the notice from OPM (office of personnel management) they labeled them with part numbers. But only for the first 2 weeks. I have intentionally been adding the part number to the title of every email to keep track and see just how long we have to send out these emails when we already have to keep track of what we do daily in FBMS(Financial and business management system). Projects, cleaning, maintenance, fleet work, you name it it’s already tracked. But they insist we take time out of the day to basically rewrite what we’ve already done and have tracked on the system that anyone I’m sure in DOI (Department of the interior) has access to to see what we’re doing. So I don’t put a greeting in the emails just the title which this week will be “What Did You Do Last Week (Part XVII)” a numbered list of only 5 things and my name and the park code. It’s annoying to do but I get a small kick out of the part number.

Edit: to add what the acronyms mean to us feds. Also I’ll add the “fallout” that being that DOGE (department of government efficiency) has added to the work load in the name of government efficiency by firing those of us that are essential to park operations via these 5 bullet points weekly, by taking away positions that are needed and unfilled to begin with in order to operate. And 17 weeks in with already keeping track of everything we do by doing more paperwork to make what we’ve already done redundant. In the end these emails are merely a waste of time since there will be another government shutdown most likely come end of September when the budget/fiscal year ends. The NPS and many other agencies like FEMA (federal emergency management agency) will be cut entirely. I’m not worried about finding another job it’s in upset with the inevitability of losing a job I love and worked hard to get.
